Staring at the bloodied corpse of a Kazemasa soldier in front of your feet, the thoughts in your mind can only attempt to come up with what will happen to you. The most powerful government in the entire world, now at your throat for taking one of their men. Now it is your decision, to face your aspirations head on and continue to fight to protect others, or forever live with the guilt of taking a life.
This is the dilemma that plagues Sector Four Village's Golden Boy, Jaiden Steely. The young aspiring fighter with a soft and nurturing care for others. Unexpectedly powered by the soul of a celestial being, he reluctantly takes up the mantle of a fighter who protects others. Whether it be by blood, or by law, Jaiden and his teammates all cower in fear of the Kazemasa. Question is, will they be able to survive their ever-expanding rule?

The Villain? No, That's Not Me.
In a world where reality itself bends to the will of a lazy god, one boy moves in the shadows.. not for conquest, not for revenge, but for something far greater... personal pleasure. With the ability to manipulate, create, and control others with an unbreakable grip disguised as free will, our nameless protagonist has no grand ambitions. No desire for war. No thirst for destruction. All he wants... is an obedient, devoted harem in a world where chaos reigns. And yet, despite his best efforts to lay low, he's drawn the attention of Duke K'lone, the legendary Sword Saint, after effortlessly bending the duke's pride and joy, the Sword Princess Veronica, to his will, without her even realizing it. Now, the entire kingdom is on edge. Who is this mysterious boy? How did he defeat the princess without lifting a finger? And most importantly, why does he seem completely uninterested in power? As knights, nobles, and adventurers scramble to uncover his identity, he continues his game of control, deception, and absolute obedience. Because in his mind, he's not the villain. ...But the rest of the world isn't so sure. "I'm not trying to take over the world. I just want to enjoy my life." "Then why does everyone you meet end up completely devoted to you?" "...Coincidence?"Complete

System Call: Opehlion Protocol
In a medieval world of Caelrevia where magic draws directly from the body, every spell consumes something vital; internal heat, bodily fluids, nutrients, vitamins; there is no mana, only life. Everyone is born with the ability to wield, but only the wealthy can afford to cast it. At the top of the arcane order sit the Administrators, bearers of the Ophelion Protocol; gold rings that exempt them from magic's cost and grant them control over time, towns, and the laws of casting itself. Beneath them, a rigid hierarchy governs access to resources, spellcasting rights, and even bodily autonomy. Magic is both power and punishment. The poor waste away trying to cast a single spell. The rich burn cities without breaking a sweat. Rebellion brews as the desperate Strains and broken Wicks seek to challenge a system built on consumption, but how do you fight gods when you starve every time you raise your hand? "Your body is the spellbook. Rip out every page."
